PSALMS 87:5   וּלֲצִיּוֹן יֵאָמַר אִישׁ וְאִישׁ יֻלַּד בָּהּ וְהוּא יְכוֹנְנֶהָ עֶלְיוֹן תהילים פז:ה u-l'-tzee-yon yay-a-mar eesh v'-eesh yu-lad ba v'-hu y'-kho-n'-ne-ha el-yon Jerusalem Inspiration What is the meaning of the double word 'man' in today's verse? Tradition teaches that when King David refers to those who were born in Zion, he is not only referring to those actually born there. Rather, the double word is meant to teach us that even those who yearn to be in Zion are considered to be children of Zion, as if they had been born there! However, many children who are blessed enough to be born in Israel sadly do not have the tools to succeed here.
